One-handed keyboards are designed to assist individuals with upper limb impairments, or limited movement, and/or the use of only one hand or digit. There are several different design styles—some feature a full keyboard layout with the addition of more dedicated keys that do not require "shift" or other function keys to be pressed at the same time. Others are compact half-versions of a standard keyboard, and users can easily reach all areas of the keyboards without moving their hand around, or some may feature a non-traditional keyboard layout, such as a circular design.
